Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 vs Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008: A Close Look at Two Pontoon Boats

Both the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 and the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 are pontoon designs, the first built in aluminium and the second in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 at 20,0 ft versus Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 at 22,0 ft. At 1 669 lbs and 1 721 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 130 hp, the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 has a 40-hp advantage over the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010's 90-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Both are 23-tube and 2-tube pontoon designs respectively. Tube diameter and gauge affect stability and load capacity - more so than most buyers realize when comparing on paper.

Bottom line: Choose the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 vs Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 or the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008?
The Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 comes in at 20,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 or the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008?
For trailering, the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 has the edge at 1 669 lbs dry weight versus 1 721 lbs for the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 is rated to a maximum of 130 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 tops out at 90 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 is certified for 11. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Are the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 and Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Landau Harbor Cruise 20 2010 and the Landau Limited Edition 22 Cruise 2008 are built by Landau. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
